Diagnosing Sound Card Problems

If you suspect you have trouble with your sound card, check
the following:
If you are using a game or other multimedia software
program and the audio is distorted or non-existent, first
check that your speaker cable is firmly connected to the
appropriate connector on your sound card.
Also try adjusting the speakers' volume. If you are in
Windows, use the Mozart Mixer or Sound Impressions
program to adjust it. If you are using MS-DOS applications,
use the
decrease volume) commands.
You can also try testing the sound card by connecting audio
headphones to the OUT port on the sound card to see if
sound is produced through that port.
Sound distortion may also be caused by interference from
another option card in your computer. Make sure that no
card's components or cables are touching the sound card.
You may want to move the sound card to a different slot.
See your computer's User's Guide for instructions on
removing and installing an option card.
To run a sound card diagnostic program, exit Windows and
log onto the C:\ MOZART directory. Type
press
the screen to test various aspects of your sound card.
If your game or other software program can be run under
MS-DOS or under Windows, try running the program
under MS-DOS (if you experience problems running under
Windows). Check your software documentation to see if
this is possible.
